UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE DOCUMENT 0: SUMMARY PROPOSAL See Course and Program Development Policy and Procedures for Instructions SCHOOL: LAW 0' MSB D YGCLA D Contact Name: Cheryl Cudzilo Phone: x4457 DEPARTMENT I DIVISION: Law School SHORT DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL (state action item 1-23 and course name & number or program affected): New course addition: LLM Criminal Law & Procedure PROPOSED SEMESTER OF IMPLEMENTATION: Fall 0 Spring 0' Year: 2009 0-1: Briefly describe what is being requested: Addition of new course LLM Criminal Law & Procedure OLD Title: nla For new courses or changes in existing courses (needed by Registrar) Course # I REGIS Code: nla, Credits: nla NEW Title LLM Criminal Law & Procedure Course # I HEGIS Code: LAWG 604 Credits: 3 I 0-2: Set forth the rationale for the proposal: For those LL.M. students who intend to take the D.C. or New York bar examinations, this course provides the essential skills required to successfully complete the Criminal law and Procedure requirements ofthe bar. It is specifically designed for such graduates offoreign law schools, and instruction is tailored to meet the needs of lawyers who have completed their legal education in their own country, but are unfamiliar with the US legal system. Further, if those students intend to practice law in the United States, this course provides some of the essential skills required. The University and Law School benefit by producing a cohort ofll.m. students capable ofpassing the bar and practicing law in the United States and bringing these skills to bear on the practice of law in their home countries. Because ofthe backgrounds ofthe students in this program, this course will not have as many credits as the regular JD courses in this subjects taught separately. This will be accomplished by reducing the amount ofcase law analysis and capital punishment from the criminal component to provide time for the coverage ofthe fourth, fifth and sixth Amendment material which is primarily need for success on the bar exam. The legal analysis of cases is adequately provided for in other classes in the program. A reduction of some ofthat material in the criminal law area will not affect the overall quality of the educational experience.

Suggested Text(s) and Materials (example: textbooks, equipment, software, etc.): Several major law book publishers have appropriate books on Criminal law and Criminal Procedure.

Attendance and Preparation Regular and punctual attendance is expected. As the catalog ofthe School oflaw notes, a student whose unexcused absences exceed three classes or whose total absences, excused and unexcused, exceed five classes may be compelled to withdraw from the course. Tardiness, other absence from class for part of a period, talking to other students during class, and inattention may be included in the calculation. On the average, approximately 2 to 3 hours ofpreparation is necessary for each hour of class, and additional time is required for a course's other assigned work, for review, and for preparation for examinations. In addition, it is recommended that each student spend about thirty minutes reviewing that day's material as close to class time as possible. Each student is expected to study the assigned material and to be prepared to discuss it in class. This means that the student has learned the material and is ready to refine his or her understanding of its nuances and overall place within the Criminal law framework. For students not prepared, the class may have little meaning. On those rare occasions when a student is not prepared for class discussion, he or she should give a note so stating to the instructor before class. The instructor will not call on these students. If a student does this very infrequently no subtraction from that student's grade will be made. As noted above, however, ifa student often is unprepared for class discussion his or her grade may be lowered by one level. This system ofnotes to excuse a student from daily participation does not apply to the assigned negotiation exercise. Students must perform the assigned negotiation exercise by the applicable deadlines or their overall Criminal grade will be lowered significantly. Grading Policy Course grades primarily will be based upon the final exam. Voluntary class participation that is thoughtful and non-domineering can raise a student's grade. Quality, not quantity, counts. Voluntary class participation that does not contribute to the discussion will not, however, cause a grade to be lowered. Students will be assigned problems, negotiation exercises, and other material to prepare, and will be called upon from time to time. These exercises are integral parts ofthe course and must be completed. Exceptionally good performance on these exercises, together with class participation, can raise a student's grade a maximum total of one level. If a student often is unprepared for class discussions, or repeatedly is tardy or talks to neighbors during class, the instructor may lower his or her grade by one level. A student who is prepared but does not do well on the assigned problems, cases or negotiation will not be penalized. 3

Office Hours Professor Anderson will be available after class and during scheduled office hours. Subject to meetings ofthe faculty and its committees, Professor Anderson's office hours are: to be determined (telephone: 410 837-4398). Administrative Matters Seating: Taping: Laptop use: law course. Students should decide where they want to sit for the second class. Students should sit at the seat they picked their second day for the remainder ofthe course. Students may tape the class. Students may not use their laptop for anything that is not related to the Criminal Cell phone: Turn off your cell phones and other personal electronic devices before class starts. You will be embarrassed ifyour cell phone goes off in class. Students may not send or receive text messages or use an ipod or similar device during class. Class rules: Forms of address: Students may not speak in class unless recognized. Moreover, students may not be recognized or may be interrupted by the instructor iftime is short. The instructor apologizes in advance for these situations and urges these students to see him immediately after class or during office hours. Students may not talk with each other or read outside material during class. This is distracting and discourteous and will not be tolerated. This policy will be strictly enforced. Students will be addressed as Mr. or Ms. Additional Reference Material Perkins and Boyce, Criminal Law (3 Td Ed.)
